So maybe Cheryl should do an article for a well-distributed glass magazine entitled, "The Biggest Lie In Fusing". And then proceed to give some history that is actually accurate. Then we can send copies of the article to all the liars. What do you think?

I was told that white out has some health warnings, that it might do something with the brain or nerves. Anyone know about this? We used white out and had great results on the surface of glass and even on the bottom. Since the warning of hazards with the use I stopped using it. Health/hazard warnin...

The questions came to me more than once. I guess their is another commecial name. White Liquid paper is the stuff that you can find at stationary store to erase a mistake made by typing. You apply this over your mistake and than re type on top and cannot see that you mess up.They use to sell them i...

Patty: Great sinks...what fun! I like the blue ones, and the striped one that looks like it got to spend time on a lap grinder...nice edge. And the amber and clear one. They're all beautiful. I have this black and white bathroom that needs come color and a new sink. So when are you coming out East ...

It's a good idea to use a mold release if you have undercuts to consider.... we use fabric softener.... I think Downy brand...which brand makes a difference. As mentioned, don't use anything with a petroleum base.... I still remember that mold years ago where Michael used Vaseline. Oh, my..... out o...

Hi Bev, Try fire polishing without an overspray...I've noticed that it tends to trap that scummy look. Patty Too late on this piece since the overspray is already applied, once it's there, it's there. Sandblasting seems the only logical solution here. As to the red glass, I'm wondering if you got a...

I had quite a trial finding zinc oxide locally when I was experimenting with silverpoint. A pharmacy finally found a jar in their basement! Sheesh. I haven't tried the Liquid Paper, but really thought I was onto something when I accidently fused some white and gold paint pen and it fused beautifully...

The latest issue of glass Magazine (the voice of the architectural glass industry) contains several articles about fused glass. One entitled, "Slumping Around" features UltraGlas, Inc. which has developed a new line of glass tiles and claims to have not only perfected the process, but to h...

I was hit up by them two years ago and after nosing around, was told (off the cuff) that it was a great place for wealthy people to buy glass cheap from famous artists. LOL. I took that as a compliment.... and didn't send anything. (As an aside, I notice they don't solicit the same artists from year...

Did you check samples of Janssen & Buscher, the lead recommended for Lamberts Glass? The regular stuff has a higher heart to accomodate the mouthblown glasses. Also, Cascade Metals out of Canada sells a high heart lead. I think many of the wholesale suppliers stock both of the above. We get J&am...

Kitty had some nice ones in the magless exchange.... I'll see if I can find her post on how she made them. Very attractive.

The tutorials here are all i've found with any detail and substance. On books I go to the local library and check them out. That way I get a test drive before I buy. I'd be interested in the silversmithing tutorials you mentioned. If you don't mind post them here or email them to me. Thanks, BobB L...

Hi all, and thank you Jackie for the kind words. I am still lurking, but I've been soooo busy lately. I have had 9 funerals in the past 4 weeks, I now have the flu and am down and out, and just everything else, Lent, services, I had a new assistant start, etc. etc. I even found some time for glass!...

Or consider learning how to cast your scrap silver.... cuttlebone castings are cheap and fun and might even make nice embellishments for fused glass bowls and dichroic jewelry.

The key to this discussion is the notion of "perceived value" The public does perceive that diamonds are worth more than Cz's and gold more than silver. They also are impressed by sparkle and size. Dichro sells well because it has sparkle, not because it is expensive for glass artists to ...

I have posted some pics of Bert's painting class that was held in Hillsboro Oregon. We had a good time and learned a lot. Thanks, Bert. Go to http://community.webshots.com/album/75787785rLNgEN and click on "Berts class held in hillsboro Oregon" Jim Are you gonna have to get a new fridge f...

I think there's a thread on this in the archives... I can't remember if we came to any conclusions about doing it or if anyone since has given it a try. I remember thinking I should give it a try at the studio just to test the bang factor... but, didn't. One of those roundtuits, you know. I think yo...

What a great story, Ron. It rang a chime with me for a couple of reasons. When I was a kid, I lived for a very short time near Aberdeen and Gray's Harbor, WA.... and because I've had a short subscription to assorted rural papers in the recent few years in areas we considered as a home. Reading local...

And you know what, Dave? You did your homework and the client is going to be impressed by that. I hope this turns into a great BIG job for you. Also, don't forget to send some pictures for the gallery after you've installed. I'd love to see them. I'm going to send some of the one church that we are ...

And while we weren't looking, they decided to be warmglass sponsors with a link above. Check out their website, they seem to be pretty decent and nice to get the good feedback from long-time customers. Gosh. I must have been sleeping.
